Random thoughts

In your busy lives have you ever found,
the time to stop, pause and look around?
to gaze at stars against a velvet black night,
& feel the enchantment of their twinkling light.
Have you heard the beckoning of the ocean,
or witnessed the grace of waves in motion.
Have you found yourself taking delight,
in tracing the glide of a bird's flight.
A buzz of bees, a flutter of butterflies,
a soft breeze that gently sighs,
the bubbling of a brook, the gurgling of a spring,
dark rain clouds and the promises they bring.
Playful dogs and gamboling puppies,
kittens with balls of string to tease.
Animals of every description and size,
from stately elephants to tiny mice.
Every leaf and feather, every stone and shell,
each one a miracle, - a marvel.
Don't you see, we ought to be grateful..
for this world of ours- 'tis truly wonderful.
